HAVING FUN IN BENGUET

 

Benguet offers a lot of fun things to do when you are there.  Some of them are:

 

See the Mummies

The best-preserved mummies are in the Timbac Caves. Located about 1200m above Kabayan proper, these are Kabayan’s most sacred caves. Aside from the mummies, the grueling climb from Kabayan town to Timbac caves entertains hikers with majestic views of the Agno river valley and a stopover at the Tinongchol Burial Rock, a three-storey high boulder where ancient Ibaloi carved out holes to inter their dead in wooden coffins.

 

Strawberry Picking

Strawberries sold in Baguio City come from the farms in La Trinidad, a 15 minute  jeepney ride from Baguio. During harvest season, these farms are open to the  public where one can experience actual picking of the fruit.

Since the  farms are tilled/owned by different farmers, improvised fences were put up as  boundaries/separators. However, they have standard price per kilo or basket (but  you can always try to haggle). Pre-picked strawberries cost P100/kilo, while it  costs P200/kilo if you will be the one to pick the strawberries. The 100%  difference is the price you have to pay for the “experience”.

Revel in a Hot Spring

Since Baguio is known for a cold climate would you believe that it is still  possible to swim in Baguio and it has a hot spring resort. So after the  exhausting touring around the city why not spend the last day dipping on the  hot spring resort.
